“…The findings of this study are consistent with the results of previous studies which revealed that the Brain-Based Teaching Approa-ch could lead to a remarkable improvement in student academic achievement (Bawaneh et al, 2012;Banchonhattakit et al, 2012;Fazil & Saleh, 2016;binti Mazlan, 2017;Saleh & Subramaniam, 2018). The findings are also consistent with the results of previous studies (Coletta et al, 2012;Kost et al, 2009), which show that male students outperform female students in Physics conceptual understanding, particularly in Force and Motion related topics.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of Brain-Based Teaching with i-Think Maps and the Brain Gym Approach (BBT-iTBA) compared to the conventional teaching approach (CTA) towards Physics' conceptual understanding amongst male and female matriculation students in the north of Peninsular Malaysia. 180 students (83 were male and 97 were female), aged around 19 years old, from two Matriculation Colleges, were involved as research sample for the targeted population. The effects of the BBT-iTBA compared to the CTA towards Physics' conceptual understanding amongst students were determined using a quasi-experimental non-equivalent group design, involving an experimental group of students (exposed to BBT-iTBA) and a control group of students (received CTA). Data gathered from the Physics Conceptual Understanding Test (PCUT), administered on the sample before and after the intervention of both teaching approaches, were then analyzed statistically. The two way ANOVA analysis results indicated that after the intervention, students' Physics conceptual understanding differ significantly due to the implementation of the different teaching approaches, with a great size effect. Students who were exposed to BBT-iTBA performed significantly better in the PCUT than students who received CTA. Although gender alone did not affect students' Physics conceptual understanding, the results obtained revealed that the effects of the interaction between the implementation of the teaching approaches and gender on the attainment of students' Physics conceptual understanding were significant, with a simple size effect. The main features of the BBT-iTBA, which are: focusing on the optimum function of the brain; promoting and enhancing the skills of thinking; and creating a relaxed and fun learning environment; are found to be the significant triggers for students to better understand Physics conceptually and excel in the subject.

“…A previous study among young children on how they spend their time was revealed that as the age advances television viewing time decreases. 12 In the present study, 35% of children were interested in playing outside of The same study revealed that children less than two years of age spend more than 1.5 hours per day for television viewing. Another study in US had revealed that children below six years spend an average of about two hours a day with screen media, which is about the same amount of time they spend for playing outside.…”

Background: Mass media has an important role in the development of behaviour of children as they are exposed to it at very young age itself. Computers, television, video games and other entertainment media have become a part of their day-to-day life. The present study aimed at identification of the effect of cartoon viewing habits on developmental skills and attention span of preschool children.Methods: The correlational research study was conducted on consecutively selected 200 preschool children from selected schools of Calicut district. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to identify the cartoon viewing habits of children and four tests (colour cancellation test, number cancellation test, colour trails test and Knox cube test) were used to detect the attention span and Vineland social maturity scale was used to detect the developmental skills. Through individual interview data from 200 preschool children and their parents were collected during a period of 6 weeks after validating the tools and the data analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: Children who watched fewer cartoons have more social quotient (98%). Developmental skills are more in younger children (96%). Cartoon viewing habits have significant association with age, gender, birth order, number of siblings, and the class of study. Significant relationship between cartoon viewing habits and developmental skills.Conclusions: The study concluded that to assess the impacts of cartoon viewing habits on developmental skills and attention span of preschool children revealed that increased duration of cartoon viewing can have detrimental effect on the attention span and developmental skills of preschool children.

“…The teachers waited for the classes and collaborated, reporting the anxiety and expectancy of the children, who actively participated in the activities. This receptiveness demonstrates that the Cartoon Program was very attractive and caught the attention of the students, as it is a playful and easy-to-use tool 43 .…”

Introduction: With the increase of childhood obesity, early intervention in nutrition education becomes necessary. Therefore, during the school period, the school becomes the best place for implementation of a nutritional education program. Objective: The current study was carried out in a public and in a private school, with the objective of evaluating and comparing the results of the "Nutriamigos®" Program on food and nutrition knowledge of children with different socioeconomic levels, sex, age and Body Mass Index (BMI). Method: Comparative longitudinal study, before and after educational intervention. To evaluate the intervention, a public (school 1) and a private school (school 2) were selected. This was a random, convenience sample comparing students from different social and economic levels, consisting of 242 (school 1) and 99 children (school 2), respectively, totaling 341 children, from 6 to 10 years of age. The Body Mass Index was used to measure nutritional status. Knowledge about food and nutrition was evaluated through a questionnaire, applied before and after intervention. The nutritional intervention consisted of 12 classes of 50 minutes each. Results: The improvement in knowledge on food and nutrition between the pre and post intervention stages was statistically significant. Conclusion: The "Nutriamigos®" Program reached its goal, demonstrating that it is effective in public and private schools and should not be differentiated for boys or girls, or for children with normal or excessive weight.
